White Rings Around the Corneas in your Eyes
This condition is called arus senillis and the white ring is made up of cholesterol, which has deposited itself in the fine tissues of your cornea. Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is produced by your liver and is found in your blood.
If you are under 40 and see this, do not ignore it, as this is a symptom of high cholesterol. While your body needs cholesterol to build healthy cells, having too much can cause fatty deposits in your blood vessels, which can lead to heart attack and stroke.
